Satin Pothos - Scindapsus pictus
Bright, indirect light is best; tolerates lower light but variegation may fade.
Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry between waterings; avoid soggy soil.
Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced, diluted house plant fertilizer during the growing season.
Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound; spring is ideal.
